Yo. As a lower end customer to the brand that had to beg, borrow and almost steal, i couldnt be happier with the system. A gradual progression in buying gear allowed me to get a fully automated home. My wife hated me for wasting so much money in the beginning but now cant live without it and wants it in the new build. I have played with zwave stuff and the lag killed me. Sonoff is sub par and now playing with Shelly devices, I'd say entry level customers could milk it and make a complete system of it all by linking Shelly lighting. I have learnt that C4 allows alot of the hardware to move with the OS upgrades, how many other brands for DIY are now obsolete in that same time frame? I havent had a single C4 device failure. When its a home it must just work, cant exactly get the wife to now worry about 2 kids and a 3rd being a DIY home. I do industrial automation and you think the problem is only on home automation? Customers cry all the time there too. As i say buy what works and dont buy something just because of the price. And for those that cant search the internet shouldnt be DIYing anything anyways. Only gripe is with the touch screens "HMIs", wish they were cheaper. I can get way more powerfull industrial panels for less than the price of the C4 ones, yes i know they wouldnt work on C4 but thats my only sore point. In my opinion everyone is a C4 customer - they just need to experience it and save up by spending less on meat and booze, especially as we spend more time in our homes now.
